Cross Stitch Collection: Tigers

Description: This is a collectible series of cross-stitch chart books on all cross stitchers' favourite subjects. This series offers high-quality at a value-for-money price for all the most popular stitching themes. This brand-new series of cross-stitch chart books brings together the work of David and Charles' favourite and most talented designers, and presents their charts in a wide range of themed chart books. Offering 10 pages of charted designs, each title in the series contains cross-stitch charts on one popular subject. Every chart includes an easy-to-use key, and an inspirational colour photograph of each finished piece shows the fantastic results to be achieved. Each chart book also provides handy stitching tips and advice, stitch diagrams, guidance on techniques and materials, and a thread conversion chart to ensure you have all the information required to complete every design featured.

The distinctive markings of the tiger make for wonderful cross stitch designs, as shown here. The head of a tiger emerging from the undergrowth results in a dramatically framed portrait, complete with deep amber eyes. A tiger on the prowl is a striking image, and shows more of the amazing coat. Finally a tiger swims through a lake full of lilies, his head emerging from the cool water and reflected in the shimmering surface, forming an unusual and breathtaking image.
